Episode 102: From 1943 to 1944, as a result of decades of exploitative colonial policy, and intentional neglect from the British government, a terrible famine gripped the colonial Indian province of Bengal. Estimates bring the death toll in Bengal alone to three million people. This episode covers the history of colonial rule in India, and the intentional engineering of the genocidal Bengal Famine, the brutality of which has been compared to the Holocaust.
